When I decide to publish, then Yes. Now they are private only.

I do not know how in the v45 version but in DP_Ported_DriversCollection_v44.7z many x64 drivers do not install because .inf files are incorrect - I tested only NVMe:

• Generic_NVMe_1.3.1014.00, Generic_NVMe_1.5.1200.00, Generic_NVMe_10.4.49.0 - have universal HW ID: PCI\CC_010802 but errors in .inf files
  
• Samsung_NVMe_3.3.0.2003, IaNVMe_4.4.0.1003 - no compatible HW ID: PCI\CC_010802
  

The only one that can be installed and works on real hardware (but not in VMware) is Generic_NVMe_6.1.7601.23403 because it has a universal HW ID in the .inf file:

%PCI\CC_010802.DeviceDesc%=Stornvme_Inst, PCI\CC_010802

@reboot12 Thats possible in v44. Samsung and Intel NVMe drivers are only for their devices. No need to handle them as Generic. I will test v45 soon too on real HW, but I think in past I have already polished them with @Andalu

Bought an Intel for the first time in over a decade.  Patched in the TSC frequency fix that should be used after the PmTimer is patched

With CPUz started and WinTimerTester running a test I see the known clock drift problem.  Ryzen does not have the issue so I wasnt able to test it until now. 

I'm assuming still no fix with windows patch or BIOS?

For now, I use classic XP era Dimension4 time to keep sync.

 

Like with XP, add shr to shift right, value is 0A hex or 10 decimal, so 2^10=1024

@pappyN4v2

I test your patched hal.dll - this is OK?
